@HazeGrey, nice to know at least one from US got accepted this year. It will be really nice if we can get connected with that student . Will your son be able to help? Thanks again!
@collegemom3717 @HazeGrey ; Thanks for your reply. Very helpful! We are interested in applying med at Oxford because of its reputation and the duration to get a MD degree (six years vs. 8 year in US.) Since we are two years away from graduation, right now, we are just gathering information.
The requirements on SAT (1470) , APs (3) and BMAT (at least 70%?) seems very easy to achieve. While there is 14 international quota every year, last year 342 applied, 28 shortlisted, yet only 6 were admitted, would like to know the underlying cause of that, purely because of the interview or something else. Indeed, past statistics has little to do with future, it is still nice to know if anybody from US ever got in so we know the odd we are facing. The other concern is the future after the MD degree, if the foreign degree will put us into disadvantage to get into good residency, then it is a red flag. From the link by @collegemom3717 , two more tests are needed for foreign degree students to get in the residency in US, not terribly difficult. Again, would love to hear more insights.
Another question, when applying Oxford, can we apply both medicine and biomedical research? If got rejected by medicine, will Oxford put you into the pool for biomedical research? Thanks
